Vivienne Westwood funeral: Celebrities, fashion industry titans honour late designer

EDITOR'S NOTE: Voice over should say "dressed as Margaret Thatcher" versus "dressed Margaret Thatcher." We regret the error.
Celebrities and fashionistas gathered at London's Southwark Cathedral on Thursday to say goodbye to iconic veteran designer Vivienne Westwood, who died in December at age 81.
The memorial service for the designer and campaigner drew famous names from the worlds of film, music and fashion, including former pop star and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, supermodel Kate Moss, actors Helena Bonham Carter and Elle Fanning, and more. Westwood's husband and creative partner Andreas Kronthaler was also in attendance.
Westwood was synonymous with 1970s punk rock, dressing the Sex Pistols - a rebelliousness that remained her hallmark.
She addressed climate change, pollution, and her support for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange on protest T-shirts or banners carried by her models on the runway of her fashion shows.

OMG do the research properly at least....that was Vivienne dressed as Margaret Thatcher......Doh.

[@uszatku9417]

Yes - very poor research on their part.

[@leonielefaucheurwoodward789]

Exactly what I was going to say. As if she would dress Margaret Thatcher…..Americans never get irony!

[@vixyvelasquez9898]

RIP 🪦 to the godmother of punk ! I will surely miss her . 😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@lichilow5194]

I can't with misinformation and clueless video commentators. That was VW herself, dressed as Margaret Thatcher on that cover. 😵‍💫😮‍💨

[@orangeturtle2737]

She didn’t dress that her she posed as thatcher ffs 😂

So glad this comment was here I clicked it on comments to make sure it was highlighted 🤣🤣

BASIC 🤨 research that sooooo wasn't done. If anyone was familiar with Vivienne's political persuasions...one would know that she'd sooner close her 🏠. Than dress Thatcher.

Yes in an Aquascutum Suit, destined for thatcher

Fashion icon? She looks like a troll doll from the 80's. I was expecting the mourners to all get in the tiny car they came in.
